(Central News Agency, Veldhoven, Netherlands, comprehensive foreign news report on the 24th) The stock price of Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML (ASML) soared nearly 10% today, hitting a record high. Previously, ASML’s fourth-quarter financial results last year were better than expected, and its backlog of orders increased, indicating the recovery of the computer chip market.
Reuters reported that ASML’s stock market closed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, soared 9.7% today to 775.80 euros per share, and its market value exceeded 300 billion euros for the first time.
ASML’s new orders for high-end chip production equipment will come from companies such as TSMC, which produces chips for Apple and NVIDIA and is ASML’s largest customer.
InsingerGilissen analyst Jos Versteeg said that after TSMC released its financial report last week showing good performance and prospects, people are looking forward to raising their outlook for 2024, but they are still a little conservative. He pointed out that as the terminal market continues to recover, ASML may raise its financial forecast later this year.
Intel, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron also use ASML’s top equipment. (Translator: Chen Zhengjian) 1130125
